Sense in Schools
Professional Learning Transforming Classrooms
Sense in Schools is a professional learning program designed by a team of Occupational Therapists, Psychologists, and Speech Pathologists to help teachers and schools create calmer, more inclusive classrooms through neuroaffirming, trauma-informed, and regulation-based approaches — delivered in person across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven or digitally Australia-wide through the Sense App.
Teaching today is more complex than ever. Classrooms are louder, busier, and filled with students who learn and communicate in different ways. Teachers and schools often feel stretched — balancing behaviour, curriculum, and emotional needs without enough tools or time.
Sense in Schools was created to solve this. Our evidence-informed training helps schools and teachers understand the “why” behind behaviour, reducing daily stress, and building calmer, more inclusive classrooms where every child can succeed.
We support and empower educators, teachers, support staff, and school leaders across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven regions with practical, sustainable tools to support neurodivergent children and create an environment where every student feels seen, safe, and ready to learn.
How to Access Sense in Schools
1. Local Schools – Illawarra & Shoalhaven
Schools in our local regions can access Sense in Schools in person, with:
• On-site professional learning workshops
• Optional classroom coaching and group mentoring
• Individual educator or leadership support to embed change
2. Schools Across Australia – Online Training
For schools outside our region, the Sense in Schools program is available via our interactive app-based platform. Educators and teams can complete the same high-quality training online — at their own pace, with downloadable tools, reflection prompts, and certificates of completion.
